Varner-Bayou Bend Heritage Fund

In 1963, Miss Ima established the Varner-Bayou Bend Heritage Fund at the Hogg Foundation to emphasize the importance of identifying and addressing childhood mental illness in its early stages. The fund supports mental health training for people in Houston who work with children, such as primary care physicians, teachers, nurses, and after-school and day care providers.
